Managing an inventory

Recommended Posts

I'm building a cartridge which has large numbers of items. This means the player's inventory will get really cluttered. Is there a way of creating sub-folders in an inventory? I thought about putting items inside another item but I then don't know how to allow the player to see and access them. Just wondering if someone has already developed a clever solution to this issue.

Just like with your items inside another item thing, you could have one item that allows you to switch the items shown in the inventory.  You select that item and choose the command "Switch Item Group" and choose which group of items you want to see.  The command's multiple-choice input will then remove all items from the inventory and add the set/group of items the player wanted to see.  This approach works well if you can group items.  If not, the multiple-choice input would need to give you alphabetical ranges (e.g. "A-G", "H-N", "O-Z") appropriate to the proportion of items starting with those letters.
